I am a sucker for those heavy, double blooms. I love them despite their neediness.
They are the over-achiever flowers. They need extra care because they go for broke blooming.
Rain wreaks havoc on them. Their poor little heads bow down with the water weight.
They need staking and shaking.
Who can resist such extravagance?
I will shake and stake every spring because these doubles are irresistible.

They really are irresistible.

You are right–they’re dramatic and gorgeous. Worth troubling with. I just wish I had better spots for peonies here. Too much shade.
